In all of the travel books, I've seen several pictures of a large boat. I think it's docked near the Historical Property area. It resembles a Pirate ship. Are we able to go aboard/cruise the harbour in it? Any info on it would be appreciated!

The Tall Ships are coming back to Halifax.
The Halifax Waterfront Development Corporation Ltd has signed agreements with the American Sail Training Association and Sail Training International Group Ltd to bring the highly popular tall ships events to Halifax in 2007 and 2009. The 2007 Tall Ships Challenge will start in the United States and head along the east coast to Nova Scotia. The fleet participating in the 2009 event will arrive in Halifax in July after a series of races that will begin in Spain.

I just did this sail a few nights ago. Its only $15 for a two hour cruse around Halifax Harbour. Live band and a bar with good priced drinks. Better they paying six bucks to get into a pub downtown Halifax. Good luck and Have fun!!
